054/A FFG Thread II

What it this mystery missile? Do you have a link or a source?

Supposedly a new SAM optimised for medium range interceptions. 5-5-5 refers to 50km range, 50g capable, mach 5. The mach 5 speed is insanely impressive if true. Most "fast" SAMs top out at around mach 4. 50km "shorter" range than your typical newer block HQ-16 may be because of quicker burn. Or maybe it's just a smaller missile overall than the HQ-16 and uses a booster stage.

Where was its existence first mentioned?

I'm just regurgitating info dropped by @Tam in another thread/ earlier this thread.

there were no reports of Pakistan Navy interest in manufacturing of bigger Ships like Type-54AP, in fact it was well understood years before the actual negotiations that PN would go for of OTS purchase in the form of F-22P batch-II from China for the replacements old frigates of PN ....

Nope...they build 1 cutter (054 Class - 3500t) out of 2 for PMSA in Karachi in 2016

all this naval activity from China means that Chinas friends can also benefit

Turkey and China both are now our top sellers

Yeah I mean HD and HP can go on in the next few years building Type 056 and coast guard vessals which are smaller in tonnage but larger in numbers

24 Type 054A would be a good number or say 22 with two Type 054, all complete by 2015

After building the "critical mass" for the navy both yards can switch to start building the amphibious capability of the navy, HD launched one Type 071 each year in 2010 and 2011 so they can certainly add many LPDs post 2015, let's say they build 6 more LPD and 3 LHD from the period 2015-2020, each amphibious flotilla consisting of 3 LPDs and 1 LHD for each of the 3 fleets

This would mean pretty much since 2006 to 2020 HD and HP would have worked about 15 years building Type 054A FFG, Type 056, coast guard, Type 903 Replenishment tankers, Type 071 and Type 081 LHD

JN keeps up the DDG construction before switching to cruisers or even carriers, either way I think Chinese shipyards will cease construction of "small ticket" items by 2015 and switch to larger combatants, from 2005-2015 would be the years when China added to the backbone the critical mass of the navy, post 2015 we start to see the "big ticket" items , 10,000 ton cruisers, 20,000+ton LPD, 40,000+ton LHD and carriers built on the experience of corvettes, FFG and DDG

cant believe I wrote it in 2013

especially the part where I say " let's say they build 6 more LPD and 3 LHD from the period 2015-2020" and thats exactly what they did

sometimes amazing looking back at old posts in 2013 we already knew the Type 055 was on its way

those were good times but today is better, now I have 3 beautiful kids and I didnt think in 2020 I would be looking back and reflecting like this

Thanks Imran for the "like" it made me check my post

Now to look back and see when you first complained about PLAN's lack of helicopters or hovercraft.
